Frankfurt Form & record Check
Eintracht Frankfurt were in impressive form in their match against VfB Stuttgart, winning 3-2 away from home, with efficiency in front of goal being crucial. Frankfurt got off to the better start, taking a 1-0 lead through Hugo Ekitike shortly before half-time after successfully completing a quick counterattack. After the break, the visitors picked up where they left off, stretching their lead to 3-0 in the 55th and 62nd minutes through Nathaniel Brown and Omar Marmoush.
Stuttgart had difficulties defending Frankfurt’s offensive actions during this phase, but fought their way back towards the end of the game. Josha Vagnoman cut the deficit to 3-1 in the 86th minute, and Nick Woltemade made it 3-2 with his goal in the 90th minute. But a late celebration by Chris Führich was disallowed after a VAR intervention, depriving Stuttgart of a chance to score again.
Statistically, Stuttgart were the better team in some areas, particularly in terms of possession (60%). They tried to put Frankfurt under pressure with 22 shots on goal, while the Hessians only had eight shots on target. But Frankfurt were much more efficient in front of goal. Stuttgart also had more corners (eight to three), but Frankfurt set the tone with their aggressive play and clinical finishing. The win sees Eintracht Frankfurt consolidate their place among the top teams in the league, while Stuttgart remain in the lower mid-table.
Impressive home record
Eintracht Frankfurt have been particularly impressive at home this season, going nine competitive matches without a loss. They have recorded six wins and three draws during that time, with their last four home matches being consecutive wins. This streak highlights the dominance of the Hessians in their home stadium, where they continue to have a very strong record.
In the Bundesliga, Frankfurt have only conceded two defeats so far, both away from home. They are yet to be beaten at home this season. This home strength makes them a dangerous opponent when playing in their own stadium.
Frankfurt facts & analysis
- 3rd place in the Bundesliga

- Top scorer Omar Marmoush: eleven goals and seven assists
Bremen Form & record check
Werder Bremen secured a 2-1 victory against Holstein Kiel at the Weserstadion, after a thrilling game that offered both offensive and defensive challenges for both teams.
The first half saw Bremen take the lead in the 36th minute when Jens Stage scored from a well-placed cross. Kiel had chances but could not score before the break. In addition, a goal by Bremen in the 40th minute was disallowed for offside.
In the second half, Kiel came out strong and equalized just three minutes after the restart. A precise pass from M. Geschwill found Patrick Harres, who scored confidently to make it 1-1. But Bremen responded late and took the lead again in the 89th minute through Oliver Burke, who scored the winning goal after an assist from Kevin Topp.
The match statistics show that Bremen had more possession (60% to 40%) and controlled the game for longer spells. Bremen had a total of 16 shots on goal, while Kiel managed twelve attempts. The hosts created several good chances, while Kiel were not efficient enough in attack.
Individual players from both teams showed great resilience, but Bremen’s late goal secured them the three points, consolidating their place in the top third of the table.
Prone to conceding goals
With 21 goals conceded, Werder Bremen are currently among the three teams with the worst defense in the Bundesliga. This record poses one of the biggest challenges for the team, as they concede too many goals in many games. However, Werder has so far compensated for this defensive weakness with a strong offensive performance that regularly scores goals and compensates for their sometimes risky play.
Nevertheless, this tactic will become problematic in the long run if they do not improve defensively. In the Bundesliga, stable defenses are crucial, and it will be difficult for Bremen to consistently remain in the top half of the table if the number of goals conceded remains as high as it is.
Bremen facts & analysis
- 8. Platz in der Bundesliga
- Anfällig für Gegentore: 21 Gegentore kassiert
- Bremen konnte in den letzten vier direkten Duellen gegen Frankfurt nicht gewinnen (Zwei Niederlagen und Zwei Unentschieden)
Eintracht Frankfurt are expected to field a 4-4-2 formation in the upcoming game. This formation allows them to strengthen the wings while also presenting a stable double act, with the midfielders controlling the game and providing the necessary offensive play. However, Frankfurt will be without a number of injured players, including Krisztian Lisztes, Jean-Matteo Bahoya, Hugo Ekitike, Arthur Theate and several others, which affects the depth of the squad.
Werder Bremen, on the other hand, will play in a 3-4-2-1 system that provides flexibility and focuses on defensive stability, while the full-backs can also be involved in the game offensively. There are two changes from the last game against Kiel: Leandro Agu and Jens Stage are out due to injuries, and Leonardo Bittencourt and Kevin Topp are expected to start in the starting lineup to fill the void.
Frankfurt – Bremen head to head & statistics
The head-to-head between Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen shows an even balance. In a total of 115 meetings, Frankfurt has won 44 times, while Bremen has won 45 games, while 26 games have ended in draws. This game has always been characterized by tradition and has often been a thrilling duel between equals, as both teams have historically been at a similar level of performance.
Despite this even history, we are sure that Frankfurt will leave the pitch as the winner based on the current form of both teams. With their strong offense and solid performance so far this season, they are likely to manage to overcome Bremen’s defense and keep the three points in Frankfurt.
